Athletics released OF Jason Pridie.

The 32-year-old outfielder has appeared in a total of 21 games at the major league level over the past four seasons, seeing just 33 at-bats during that span. He spent the majority of the 2015 campaign raking at Triple-A Nashville to the tune of .310/.380/.515 with 20 long balls and 89 RBI in 127 games. He'll look to latch on elsewhere on a minor league pact with an invite to spring training. Sat, Oct 17, 2015 08:57:00 AM

Athletics recalled OF Jason Pridie from Triple-A Nashville.

Pridie hasn't seen time with the A's this season. At Triple-A Nashville, he was hitting a solid .310/.380/.515 with 20 homers and 89 RBI through 541 at-bats. He can clearly clobber minor league pitching and could see a few starts with the expanded roster. Tue, Sep 1, 2015 04:04:00 PM

Athletics signed OF Jason Pridie to a minor league contract.

The veteran outfielder had agreed to a deal with SK Wyverns of the Korean Baseball Organization in December, but that deal fell through. He represents a nice depth signing for the A's. Sat, Jan 10, 2015 02:00:00 PM

Jason Pridie has agreed to a contract with SK Wyverns of the Korea Baseball Organization.

Pridie appeared in just two games at the major league level in 2014, striking out twice in four at-bats. He was better off heading to Korea than having to settle for a non-guaranteed minor league contract. Mon, Dec 15, 2014 12:36:00 PM

Pridie hasn't seen time with the A's this season. At Triple-A Nashville, he was hitting a solid .310/.380/.515 with 20 homers and 89 RBI through 541 at-bats. He can clearly clobber minor league pitching and could see a few starts with the expanded roster.

Jason Pridie has agreed to a contract with SK Wyverns of the Korea Baseball Organization.

Pridie appeared in just two games at the major league level in 2014, striking out twice in four at-bats. He was better off heading to Korea than having to settle for a non-guaranteed minor league contract.

Pridie was outrighted off the Rockies' 40-man roster in August. The outfielder appeared in one game with the club in 2014, hitting .278/.341/.433 with 28 steals at Triple-A Colorado Springs. He should catch on with a more outfield-needy club this offseason.

Rockies purchased the contract of OF Jason Pridie from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Pridie could have opted-out of his contract last month, chose not to, and had an option to do so again coming up on August 15. The 30-year-old slashed .275/.331/.426 with 10 home runs, 43 RBI, and 22 stolen bases over 87 games with Colorado's Triple-A affiliate. He won't play enough -- or well enough -- to merit fantasy consideration.

Jason Pridie will not exercise the opt-out clause in his minor league contract with the Rockies.

Pridie will have another chance to opt-out on August 15. The 30-year-old is batting .288/.352/.454 with eight home runs, 32 RBI, and 20 stolen bases over 61 games this season with Colorado's Triple-A affiliate.

Jason Pridie went 4-for-4 with a walk, double, run scored, and an RBI against the Padres on Monday.

Pridie had been hitless in the Cactus League since a 3-for-3 day against the Athletics on March 8. Despite the strong effort, there is no room for Pridie in a crowded Rockies outfield, so he'll start at Triple-A.

Rockies signed OF Jason Pridie to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Pridie was non-tendered by the Orioles earlier this month. He's a .228/.302/.371 career hitter in the majors and will serve as organizational outfield depth for the Rockies, who just traded Dexter Fowler to the Astros.

Pridie hit a very respectable .298/.356/.455 with five homers and 22 RBI in 49 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2012, after missing the first 50 games of the season due to a drug related suspension. He'll compete for a reserve outfielder role during spring training.

Phegley was admitted to a hospital Friday with synovitis in his right knee. The good news is that he's expected to get out of the hospital on Tuesday, but a return to the field in September just isn't realistic at this point.

In addition to surgery on his left foot, Jed Lowrie also recently had an operation for a deviated septum.

"I didn’t think anything of it, and then I saw an ear, nose and throat specialist and it turns out it wasn’t just a deviated septum, there were also two bone spurs," Lowrie said. "My sleep had been messed up for a long time, I realized." The additional surgery doesn't change Lowrie's rehab schedule. He's expected to be ready to go for spring training.

A's manager Bob Melvin said Andrew Triggs (back) is doubtful to pitch again this season.

Triggs left his start Friday against the Red Sox after just one inning due to back discomfort, and he's apparently still in pain. The 27-year-old right-hander had a 4.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 55/13 K/BB ratio through 56 1/3 innings this season with Oakland.

A's trainer Nick Paparesta said that Chris Bassitt (elbow) is on track in his recovery from Tommy John surgery.

Bassitt underwent Tommy John surgery at the beginning of May and subsequently missed the entire 2016 season. While Paparesta said that the 27-year-old right-hander is currently in great shape, he probably won't be ready for a return to the mound until some point in the summer of 2017.
